Friday’s match between the No. 16 Gators and the LSU Tigers
has been moved to 6 p.m. ET on Friday, November 16. The match had originally
been scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.

The time change is to accommodate fans who want to support
both Gator volleyball and soccer on Friday evening, as No. 2 regional seed
Florida hosts UCF in the NCAA Soccer Second Round at 7 p.m. ET.

It’s a big weekend for both Gator programs, as UF soccer is
one of eight teams to host Second and Third Round action this weekend. The
first 200 UF students with their Gator 1 Cards will receive free admission.
Tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under, students and senior
citizens.

In the O’Connell Center on Friday night, UF volleyball welcomes
SEC West rival LSU to Gainesville for the only match-up of the season between
the two teams. LSU is 12-14 on the year and 8-9 in conference action.

Florida’s quest for a 20th SEC championship could be
completed this weekend, as the Gators need to win two more matches to claim the
conference crown outright. The Orange and Blue can clinch a share of the title
with a win on Friday night but the Gators control their own destiny and can end
Tennessee and Texas A&M’s title hopes with two wins on the weekend.

There are a number of fantastic promotions for the weekend,
including Beat the Tigers t-shirts for the first 500 UF students that arrive to
the match. Fans can donate two or more canned food items at Gate 1 on Friday
evening and receive buy one, get one free admission to Sunday’s match against
